We present a new charge self-consistent scheme combining Density Functional and Dynamical Mean Field Theory, which uses Green's function of multiple scattering-type. In this implementation the many-body effects are incorporated into the…
We investigate the possibility of electrostatic potential saturation, which may lead to the phenomenon of effective charge saturation. The system under study is a uniformly charged infinite plane immersed in an arbitrary electrolyte made up…
Density-potential functional theory (DPFT) is an alternative formulation of orbital-free density functional theory that may be suitable for modeling the electronic structure of large systems. To date, DPFT has been applied mainly to quantum…
Faithful representations of atomic environments and general models for regression can be harnessed to learn electron densities that are close to the ground state. One of the applications of data-derived electron densities is to orbital-free…
Simulation of warm dense matter requires computational methods that capture both quantum and classical behavior efficiently under high-temperature, high-density conditions. Currently, density functional theory molecular dynamics is used to…
We introduce a new functional for simulating ground-state and time-dependent electronic systems within density-functional theory. The functional combines an expression for the exact Kohn-Sham (KS) potential in the limit of complete electron…
An atom placed inside a cavity of finite dimension offers many interesting features, and thus has been a topic of great current activity. This work proposes a density functional approach to pursue both ground and excited states of a…
We introduce a non-equilibrium density-functional theory of local temperature and associated local energy density that is suited for the study of thermoelectric phenomena. The theory rests on a local temperature field coupled to the…
The exact reduced density-matrix functional is derived from the Luttinger-Ward functional of the single-particle Green's function. Thereby, a formal link is provided between diagrammatic many-body approaches using Green's functions on the…
We present a new theory for partitioning simulations of periodic and solid-state systems into physically sound atomic contributions at the level of Kohn-Sham density functional theory. Our theory is based on spatially localized linear…
We present an approach to solid-state electronic-structure calculations based on the finite-element method. In this method, the basis functions are strictly local, piecewise polynomials. Because the basis is composed of polynomials, the…
We present a general approach for the construction of the exact local-energy-density functionals for a uniform N-dimensional electronic system in a magnetic field. For arbitrary dimension, we obtain explicit expressions for the matter,…
In this work we explore the performance of approximations to electron correlation in reduced density-matrix functional theory (RDMFT) and of approximations to the observables calculated within this theory. Our analysis focuses on the…
We analyze the fluctuations of an electronic thermal current across an idealized molecular junction. The focus here will be on the spectral features of the resulting heat fluctuations. By use of the Green functionmethod we derive an…
The package "fhi96md" is an efficient code to perform density-functional theory total-energy calculations for materials ranging from insulators to transition metals. The package employs first-principles pseudopotentials, and a plane-wave…
It is shown here that Kohn-Sham equations cannot be derived from Hohenberg-Kohn theory without an additional postulate. Assuming that a functional derivative with respect to total electron density exists leads in general to a theory…
We investigate the particle and kinetic-energy densities for $N$ non-interacting fermions confined in a local potential. Using Gutzwiller's semi-classical Green function, we describe the oscillating parts of the densities in terms of closed…
Aspects of Density Functional Resonance Theory (DFRT) [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{107}, 163002 (2011)], a recently developed complex-scaled version of ground-state Density Functional Theory (DFT), are studied in detail. The asymptotic…
The exact universal functional of integer charge leads to an extension to fractional charge asymptotically when it is applied to a system made of asymptotically separated densities. The extended functional is asymptotically local and is…
Conceiving a molecule as composed of smaller molecular fragments, or subunits, is one of the pillars of the chemical and physical sciences, and leads to productive methods in quantum chemistry. Using a fragmentation scheme, efficient…
